Patent CA-2586297-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARD EDWARD F
IPC: F02M17/22
Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for vaporization of a liquid fuel in a manner that produces a highly concentrated air-fuel mixture using a combination of gasoline and air while eliminating residual liquid fuel droplets therefrom. The system generally includes at least two tanks including a manifold adjacent the bottom thereof.  An outlet on the first tank is connected to an inlet connected in the manifold of the second tank. The tanks contain liquid fuel. Compressed air is introduced into the manifold in the first tank causing some of the liquid gasoline to vaporize. The vaporized gasoline is then introduced to the manifold in the second tank causing additional vaporization.  The saturated vapor is then drawn off the top of the second tank in the form of a combustible gas vapor for use in any application wherein such an air-fuel mixture is normally utilized.

Title: Method for improved image segmentation
Inventor: ZAHNISER MICHAEL
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2006-01-10
Abstract: An improved image segmentation algorithm is provided that identifies each object in an image. Pixels of the image are sorted based on a range of attribute values of the image. These pixels are then added to a labeling image one by one starting with an extreme point in the range of attribute values.  Features are calculated for each object located and these features are matched with pre-defined acceptance criteria. If there is a match, the object is output to an output image. The steps of adding pixels to the image, evaluating the features of the resulting objects and outputting the objects are repeated until a stopping point is reached.

Patent CA-2607557-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARNES NEAL P
IPC: A63B21/068
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: An exercise machine includes a dual fulcrum articulated force lever connected to a machine frame. The articulated force lever includes a first force arm and a second force arm. A fixed end of the second force arm is pivotally connected to the frame at a first fulcrum. A movable end of the second force arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the first force arm for pivoting of the first force arm about a second fulcrum. A resistance load is attached intermediately to the first force arm. A handle section is connected to the first end of the first force arm opposite the pivot connection to the second force arm. Movement of the handle section in one direction rotates the first force arm and the second force arm together about the first fulcrum against the load. Movement of the handle section in an opposite direction rotates the first force arm about the second fulcrum against the load. In one embodiment the resistance load is provided at least in part by the body weight of the exercising person. A seat assembly is movably connected to the frame. A load linkage connects the seat assembly to the first force arm in such a manner that the first force arm moves against the weight of the exercising person situated on the seat assembly. The connection point between the load linkage and the first force arm is adjustable. This is effective to vary the load at the first force arm.

Title: Viscous product transportation trailer
Inventor: RADEMACHER JOHN L
IPC: B60P1/58
Filed: 2006-06-20
Abstract: Described herein is a transport tank trailer having a tank that can be used to more completely and effectively transport, store, load and unload a viscous product, such as a viscous liquid product, or liquid with solid(s) in suspension. Materials for transport, storing, loading and unloading include both food-grade and non-food grade products. Exemplary products include chocolate, paint, wastes, and asphalt. The tank system involves: a) agitation means (e.g., vibration devices) to force viscous product to flow during unloading; b) a heat-traced closed loop venting and unloading system resulting in the elimination of opening of the manhole on the tanker, which results in the release of heat; c) use of enhanced insulating materials to reduce product solidification during product discharge; and d) reduction of thermal bridges to increase product heat retention. The invention also involves an inventive cargo tank shape that promotes viscous product discharge during unloading of the tank. The viscous product trailer can further comprise a heated make-up air system operably associated with the tank housing. The system can provide heat vented air and heated air into the tank interior containing viscous product so as to maintain tank, and consequently product, temperature.
